The closest team number in a given<br \/>\ntie wins, or we move to the next number.  To be fair, numbers 1 and 12<br \/>\nwill be considered 1 number away, ie if the number is 12, and teams 1<br \/>\nand 11 are involved, this is a tie.  The same would be the case if the<br \/>\nnumber is 12 and teams 2 and 10 are involved.  This should prevent any<br \/>\ngiven team number from having any advantage.  Here is an example:<\/p>\n<p>This is a sample number list of 10 random numbers:<br \/>\n12<br \/>\n10<br \/>\n4<br \/>\n7<br \/>\n4<br \/>\n8<br \/>\n1<br \/>\n12<br \/>\n5<br \/>\n6<\/p>\n<p>Say there are 3 ties:<br \/>\nScott (team 10) and Ted (team 5) both bid $2 on John Doe<br \/>\nRishi (team 3) and Paul (team 4) both bid $3 on John Smith<br \/>\nShane (team 12) , Jay (team 2) and Seth (team 6) all bid $4 Joe Doe<\/p>\n<p>The order of determination would be:<br \/>\nJoe Doe, John Doe, John Smith<\/p>\n<p>Tie #1:<br \/>\nThe number is 12, so Scott would win this tie (10 closer to 12 than 5).<\/p>\n<p>Tie #2<br \/>\nWe move to the second number which is 10.  Rishi (3) is actually<br \/>\ncloser to 10 than Paul (4) going in reverse so he wins.<\/p>\n<p>Tie #3<br \/>\nWe go to the third number which is 4.  Jay (2) and Seth (6) tie again<br \/>\nbut Shane (12) is eliminated.<br \/>\nWe go to the 4th number, 7.  Seth wins the tie<\/p>\n<p>Tie #4 would start with the 5th number.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first round of pre-season free agency starts tonight in QFL1.
